James Patterson is an award-winning American author. Formerly the chairman of advertising company J. W. Thompson. Shortly after his success with Along Came A Spider, he retired from the firm and devoted his time to writing. The novels—featuring his character, Alex Cross, a black forensic psychologist formerly of the Washington, D.C. Police Department and Federal Bureau of Investigation, now working as a private psychologist and government consultant—are the most popular books among Patterson readers and the top selling US Detective series in the past ten years. In 2007, one of every fifteen hardcover novels sold was a James Patterson title – totaling an estimated of 16 million books sold last year in North America alone. In total, Patterson’s books have sold an estimated 150 million copies worldwide. He has won awards including the Edgar, the BCA Mystery Guild’s Thriller of the Year, and the International Thriller of the Year award. James Patterson was called "the man who can’t miss" in Time magazine. He is the first author to have #1 new titles simultaneously on The New York Times adult and children’s bestsellers lists, and to have two books on NovelTracker’s top-ten list at the same time. He holds the New York Times bestsellers list record with 39 New York Times bestselling titles overall. He even made an appearance on the Fox TV show The Simpsons (in the episode "Yokel Chords") as himself.
